Sherry’s in Woodley Park
Deep,dark fruit; Pinotage is kinda tobacooey. Does have the bandaid on the nose. It’s a full-bodied red with a rich thick-tongued swathe of cherry and wood.
But generally, Robertson’s wines are not South Africa’s best. Wine Spectator did give it a better rating than I would have:
Back of the Label
“A bit jammy, with fig and plum notes that gush forward, while hints of dark toast, spice and licorice fill in the background… –JM”
But overall, it lacks a strong finish and left me wanting.
Still it’s good to know where you stand next time you find yourself in front of the wall of wines and the South Africa section is facing you. Choose wisely and don’t choose Robertson’s. I’ll let you know when it’s safe to go back into the waters again with Robertson’s.
